Excerpt from The Chronicles of Quincy Adams Sawyer, Detective
With the death abroad of the Honourable Quincy Adams Sawyer, United States Ambassador to Vienna, his son, also named Quincy Adams, came into possession of the remnants of what had once been a large fortune. The fortune, however, had been greatly impaired, as the tastes of the senior Quincy Adams Sawyer had developed more in the direction of adventure and travel than in that of sober business, a fact which led eventually to bad investments and disastrous results.
